Revealed: Landlord tax cuts will cost hundreds of millions more than ACT, National campaigned on
3 years ago by BalpeenHammer to c/politics
They knew what the true cost would be and hid it.
The real estate industry as a whole donated heavily to both National and Act. Not just landlords, but also estate agents etc. They desperately want more activity in the property market even if it means house prices start going up again.
even if it means house prices start going up again
They definitely want house prices to start going up again.
National campaigned on several measures that have a known effect of raising house prices e.g. narrowing the RBNZ mandate, moving the bright line test, reintroducing tax incentives.
I'm from a completely different continent, but still feel pretty confident in answering "because National is a bunch of corrupt demagogues who are against everything good and in favor of everything bad".
How close am I?
Shocked.
Well not that shocked.
AFIK the police are not allowed to strike. I am sure they can become lazy and slow when they want to though.
I doubt it. I don't think the job market for ex cops is that hot.
could they do things like refuse to issue fines?
I'm pretty sure they had no idea about the cost. They probably asked their finance minister, who, instead of reading the paperwork tossed a kina at a flock of seagulls and interpreted their reaction as the answer.
I'm so glad we've got some responsible financial stewardship after all this time!
What's going to happen when some disaster strikes and hundreds of people die.
And yet:
National/ ACT/ NZ First (55%) increase lead over Labour/ Greens/ Maori on 41% – now at 14% points
I don't understand the values of this country anymore
Its pretty common that folks will cement their opinion after an election. Buyers remorse tends to take a bit longer to kick in.
Asked how he got the numbers so wrong on interest deductibility, Luxon said, "we didn't".
Does that mean they lied originally, or he's lying now?
He lies constantly so both.
